Euro...I not only KNOW all the words...I know the tune!! AND, I know the version naughty boys sing...ahahahaha!! Awwwwwwww, but thanks for posting it....it always makes me smile. We sang it at our wedding (the Yorkshire one) and in fact just a few days ago we sang a few of the verses.... My favorite verse is... then t'worms'll come and eat thee up...

Hubster lived about a minute from Ilkley Moor...grew up on it...he even proposed formally to me on it! Ilkley Moor is in his blood. He misses it too...
